It is the senior expression in Aberlour's core range and a fine example of the distillery's generous, sherry-touched style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAberlour sits where the Lour burn meets the River Spey, in the heart of Speyside, and the distillery has long been celebrated for its sherry cask whiskies. For the 18 Year Old, American oak casks bring notes of vanilla and toffee, while Oloroso sherry casks impart spice and richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose and palate come soft apricot and cream, offset by developing flavours of old leather and oak with a touch of honey. Rich and fruity, it shows apricot, chocolate-coated raisins, liquorice root and freshly grated nutmeg, and the finish moves from crème brûlée to a gentle oak flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bottle carries Aberlour's classic cream label, presented in a tall gift tube. It is a superb gift for an 18th birthday, a milestone anniversary or any lover of Speyside whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBalanced and elegant, it rewards slow sipping after dinner, and eighteen years in cask give it a depth that younger Aberlours only hint at. It is a natural step up for anyone who already enjoys the distillery's 12 or 16 Year Old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft apricot and cream, with honey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chocolate-coated raisins, liquorice root, nutmeg, old leather and oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crème brûlée to a gentle oak flourish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aberlour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 proof (43% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double cask matured: American oak and Oloroso sherry casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat in a nosing glass, or with a drop of water to bring out the apricot.
